Damien Rice works his magic at the ASCAP Music Lounge

For three days in April, The Tribeca Film Festival presented The ASCAP Music Lounge, hosted by Apple and Budweiser, featuring live performances by established, emerging and indie artists.

New to the festival this year, The ASCAP Music Lounge was held at the Knitting Factory in Tribeca and featured sets by Nic Armstrong & the Thieves, Paul Buchanan, Shawn Colvin, Ivy, Ben Jelen, Damien Rice, John Trudell and Suzanne Vega. The ASCAP Music Lounge is dedicated to showcasing the exceptional talent of new, top names and emerging artists and is a place where independent filmmakers can meet and interact with film composers and songwriters to encourage collaborations.
